Chapter 1061 Better To Die Than To Live
Therefore, on their planet, everyone's life span was long.
Of course, it was also accompanied by human elements at the same time.
After all, there was no need for too many lives on this planet if everyone's life span could be extended indefinitely.
She was sick of living like this and didn't want to spend the rest of her life on that planet. As a result, she boarded her spaceship and flew away from her home, hoping to find a new miracle.
She didn't expect, though, that the spaceship would crash and land on this planet while she was only halfway there.
Coby was utterly taken aback by her words at the time.
Not only that, but she also mentioned universes, spaceships, and outer space.
It was hard to know what kind of spaceship the round stone he had previously seen was.
While Coby was taken aback, he instantly came up with another possibilities.
All of the officials knew that the Empress had a younger sister now that she was dead, and they were all looking for her successor.
The Empress, on the other hand, had already notified her sister about her plan before she died. She decreed that as soon as she reigned, she had to reveal the truth about Coby's assassination. This would overthrow the High-Priest and restore imperial sovereignty to the imperial family.
Coby felt like he was being roasted on a fire at the time.
However, he had no way out. He would die unless he sought to revolt against the Empress' younger sister.
But how could she listen to Coby when her older sister had died because of him?
Hence, there was no solution to this problem.
Things were different now, though. He instantly found a new glimmer of hope.
Previously, he couldn't let someone claim to be the Empress' sister because all the officials had seen her before. He couldn't find somebody who looked just like her to impersonate her.
But things had changed now. He had found the person.
That was the Divine Lady who had followed him all the way back from the desert and claimed to be from outer space, Cara.
She had no relatives or acquaintances, and only a few people in the manor were aware of her existence. Besides, they had complete faith in him. Thus, she was the perfect candidate to do so.
As a result, Coby told her about the plan without thinking about it.
Cara first turned down the idea. Although she couldn't articulate why for the time being, she thought it wasn't a good thing based on her current understanding of the world.
Eventually, after much pleading and pestering from Coby, she agreed.
On that day, he had sent her to the Emperor's seat.
Sitting on the throne, she gazed down the hall at him, who was kneeling, and her heart sank with fear.
After then, there was a plot and a massacre.
Coby obviously did not want to talk too much about that bloody part of history. So, he only mentioned a few words.
Yet, Clarissa sensed a change in that time period from his few words.
According to his earlier description, Cara was a kind-hearted person.
On the other hand, Coby had long been blinded by power and influence. When he learned of the Empress' plot, he had already made up his mind to take control and thoroughly eliminate her.
After all, what was the point of keeping a useless Empress?
They'd only be able to enjoy the results of their labor, and being able to live on their own was better!
Nevertheless, he had never revealed this idea to Cara.
Therefore, she collapsed when the army stormed the hall and saw the so-called traitor, who was exactly the person she had been longing for and deeply loved.
Her collapse was not caused by her reluctance to relinquish the throne.
Instead, she had trusted him, believing that she had ascended to the throne for the good of the people and to prevent more internal strife.
But all of this was just a pretext for him to deceive her.
He had devised a meticulous plan, not for the benefit of the people, but to allow himself to develop further.
With her trust, Coby had almost gained control of her power. He had risen to become the country's most powerful man.
In the past, the position of the High-Priest could still be decided by a vote of all officials.
All of the imperial court's civil and military officials were now his men. No one dared to vote or oppose him.
With that, Coby had been an uncrowned king of the country, but he was still unsatisfied. Even the last of the royal bloodline had to be exterminated.
When Cara rose to the throne, she impersonated the appearance of the Empress' sister.
As a result, members of the royal family saw her as one of their own, trusted her, and admired her.
Cara had never experienced anything like it before. So, she was a little perplexed at first.
However, she was a human and had a strong talent for learning. Soon, she could distinguish between family, friendship, and love from the way she interacted with them.
Eventually, she understood that she was in love with Coby.
At the same time, she regarded the people like friends and family.
She did not want anyone to get hurt, nor did she want anyone to betray her, especially Coby.
But in the end, Coby deceived her.
To ascend the throne, Coby had not only chased her off the throne, but he had also slaughtered everyone from the royal family in front of Cara.
He wanted to get rid of the root cause!
At that moment, she could not believe what she saw.
She couldn't believe the person she'd always loved was only using her.
Besides, she couldn't believe that the kindness on his face was all fake. He could, in fact, kill people for the sake of power, even if they were not a threat to him in the least.
The youngest one among them was only three years old!
He was still a child. What had he done wrong?
Tears welled up in her eyes as she walked up to him and questioned.
Coby only gave a cold reply, "He's still a child now, but sooner or later, he will grow up."
Indeed. He would grow up at some point.
The child would remember today's blood feud when he grew up and was very likely to return for revenge. Hence, Coby did not leave them with any hope, nor did he want to risk it.
Cara was in a complete state of despair.
Hearing that, she lost hope in Coby, so when he decided to make her Empress at the last moment, she refused.
Then, she removed the energy stone from her body.
In the past, she had never understood why people on her planet would remove the energy stone and commit suicide.
But it was not until this moment that she realized.
It was most likely due to a lack of enthusiasm in life and a sense of hopelessness. Furthermore, she could no longer recognize the person she once loved the most.
It was better to die than to live.
